WhatsApp messages from your PC using the new WhatsApp Web feature. At the time, it was only possible using an Android phone and the Chrome web browser on your PC. Now you can use an iPhone (apple.co/1VpVudn) or Windows Phone (bit.ly/1JGk8KE) too, while the Firefox, Opera and Safari browsers are also now supported on your PC.

First, go to www.web.whatsapp.com on one of these browsers on your PC. You’ll see a QR code on the screen. If you use an iPhone, open WhatsApp on your phone, tap Settings, then WhatsApp Web. On a Windows Phone, tap the three dots at the bottom-right, then ‘whatsapp web’. Your phone’s camera will now switch on and you’ll see a square border overlaid on the screen. Point it to your PC, ensuring the border overlaps with the QR code, then wait for the browser on your PC to show your WhatsApp conversations on the left. Now click any conversation to read or reply to it just as you would on your phone.
